I chose a C2D and a Graphics card, but in reality, I am at about the same place as Bandit Bill, in wanting it all . Of course, you could just buy a Mac Pro, but thats too expensive for me _________________The direct use of force is such a poor solution to any problem, it is generally employed only by small children and large nations.

No, PCI is a newer version of PCI for modern graphics cards. We wish we could have all of them, but of course there are some limits . I guess it should have been "What do you want most?"!_________________Visit www.TheBigApples.net for Apple news and podcasts.

If Apple find a way of minimizing the things inside then maybe there would be room for one PCI slot, saying that it would mean the mini would be a tad bit bigger._________________- MacBook Pro, 15inch, 2.4GHz, 2GB, 160GB HDD, SuperDrive. I Love this Mac!!!!

I don't mind a mini that's a centimetre (yeah I use metric) taller if it fits a PCI-Express graphics card in it! I'd upgrade it to a 6800 straight away!_________________Visit www.TheBigApples.net for Apple news and podcasts.

I voted for C2D & GMA Graphics. Is PCI-E a smaller version of a PCI card by chance?

it can be if it's PCIe 1x, PCIe 4x is about half size of a regular PCI, PCIe 8x is about the same size, and PCIe 16x is about a third larger than a PCI port. PCIe was created to combine PCI (equal to half of a PCIe 1x), PCI-X (equal to PCIe 4x), and AGP (equal to PCIe 8x at most) into one kind of port based on the same technology. I would like to see even a PCIe 1x slot for port expansion._________________"You must control your future by taking command of your present, and fixing and learning from your past."

Having a normal PCI slot would be fine, because there are a wide range of components that are avaliable for it. If you go for the smaller versions there's going to be few choices, its like the express card slot and the PC card slot on laptops.

I'm not hung up on the size of the mini. I would gladly see it grow in height, and even a bit in footprint, to accommodate faster, more expandable components. As long as it stays within the dimensions of a Cube (my other favourite Mac). Oh yes, and as long as it continues to be a quiet Mac!_________________Mini 1 (2012): 2.3 ghz Core i7; 10gb RAM, Corsair 240gb SSD, 500gb Seagate XT
